Wednesday, November 19th

It was a busy Wednesday!  Students selected their topics for their first informational writing piece this term.  We organized our notebooks into chapters to prepare for our note taking and research.

We continued our work with angles and lines today.  Students explored perpendicular lines and worked together to complete an activity.  We found them in our classroom and explored the characteristics that make them special.

Yesterday, we had an important discussion as a class about secrets.  Students were made to understand that secrets are only secret if they are never told, and secrets can hurt others.  We also discussed appropriate topics for school and 4th graders.  Students were made aware that topics such as boyfriends and girlfriends are not appropriate topics for kids their age.  We discussed working to invite new people into their circle of friends and be open to meeting new people.  Please continue to discuss these important issues at home.  We want to maintain a safe, comfortable, and welcoming classroom where all students come to learn and grow.
Have a great night!

"The happiness of life is made up of fractions-the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment, and the countless infinitesimals of pleasurable and genial feeling."
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge
